G5 - Leopard Upgrade & FCP will not capture instead causes Crash of FCP.

I looked elsewhere on the forums and could not find my same problem.
After the upgrade to Leopard with my FCP it all seems to work just fine. Unless I try to capture. And at that point FCP crashes. I have this same thing happening on 2 machines. Where before the upgrade it was all fine. This happens with or without camera attached.
Any ideas?
FCP version 5.0.4
OSX 10.5
One thing you would like to hope is that Apples stuff works on their system. I really do not want to upgrade computers this week.
I have tried reinstalling the software (FCP again), I have repaired permissions.
Thanks for any help
Christopher

I have the same problem, log and capture just crash if I have the HDV capture preset selected, I cannot capture any high definition footage! I am running Leopard, FCP 5 and latest quicktime. It crashes FCP immediately I click on log and capture.

HT200166 I have a Canon XL2 that will not capture video properly in fcp 10, where it does capture properly in fcp6 and 7. How can I "fix" fcp 10 to do this correctly?

My Canon XL2 (1394/firewire 400) will not capture correctly in fcp10, but it did when I had fcp 7 on the same computer. Is there a software fix that will allow me to use the XL2 with this program?

I just want to get this clear.
With FCP 7 and earlier you could capture a whole tape in one continuous 60 minute long clip.
FCP X cannot do that. It is designed to split the tape into its individual clips, however long they may be.
Are you saying that when you try to capture clips of 10 seconds or so, it only captures the first 4 seconds?
All I can suggest is that you trash the preferences with this free app.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

I got a message that it needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, i will not be able to use this library. Will I lose all my photos?

I got a message that Aperture needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, I will not be able to use this library. Will I lose all my photos? Please help!

I got a message that Aperture needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, I will not be able to use this library.
Photogirl, that surely is only half of the alert message. You will not lose your photos; this message is alerting you to the fact, that there will be no way back. Once the library has been upgraded, you will no longer be able to open it in the previous Aperture version. So, if you have other macs with older Aperture versions, these will no longer be able to read your converted Aperture library.
When you see an alert like this, it is always wise to check, if your backup is current, before you proceed. Make sure, you have a working backup of your Aperture library, and also, of your current version of Aperture, just in case.

Since Snow Leopard, Mac Pro will not sleep with Apple wireless keyboard

I have an odd problem, now on 2 Mac Pro (Nehalem) with 10.6.1:
Since Snow Leopard, the system will not sleep as long as a) the user is logged on (any users/profile) and b) the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard is 'attached'.
If I log off first, sleep works fine. If I turn the keyboard off first, it's fine. But if hitting 'sleep' when logged on, the screen turns dark, sleep process begins, but the system comes right back (with a note 'keyboard disconnected'.
It's as if the keyboard disconnects after sleep, but the system still monitors it, and wakes up.
Note: Wake for bluetooth devices IS NOT ENABLED!
Here is the console log (relevant info):
10/18/09 4:57:33 PM kernel System Sleep
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC1
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel System Wake
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x1d has remote wakeup from some device
10/18/09 4:58:53 PM kernel System Sleep
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC6
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel System Wake
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x5a has remote wakeup from some device
Does anyone have any idea? While on, the keyboard never disconnects - i.e. I don't have any other issues with BT or the keyboard (this is the 2nd I tried).
Also, my apologies for double-posting this earlier in a different forum; cheers!
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
and thanks for posting that.
That's too bad. I am probably going to log off if needed, rather than going wired, but I can't believe that this might be more prevalent than just me and there is no 'fix'...
Anyone ?!
Thanks as always,
Dan

Sony Handycam HC96 will not capture in Premier CS4

We have a lot of film on a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96. Premiere CS4 running on a MAC sees the camera for control purposes, but will not capture video from it. Since the Handycam only has Firewire 400 output, we are running through a 400 to 800 adapter to get to the Powerbook Pro. Any ideas why Premiere will not capture video from this camera?? Any idea what settings to try??
Thanks

Is the Record button active, or greyed out?
With some cameras, you have to hit the Record button AND THEN the play button to commence capture.
Failing that, you could try hitting PLAY on the camera itself, and then try to activate the Record button in the Capture window.

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, where you will get more comments. Do not be surprised, when your post appears in the PrPro forum.
Good luck,

The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number

The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number?

I have a CS3 DesignPremium.
I have asked Adope if it was possible to update from this to CS5.5 Design Premium. The answer was, that it was ok for a price round 100 €.
I bought it and under installation it wanted first the new serial number and next the 'old number' (because the old CS was not installed).
The new one is not installed any where els.
Im am working on a MacBook Pro.
The number not accepted is the old CS3 number.

What is a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

What is a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

Rather than convert, you'd be better off capturing with a more current version of the program -- one that supports AVCHD video. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of headache. A converter isn't going to solve your problems.
BTW, when you say Premiere 6, do you mean Premiere 6 -- which is over 10 years old? (There was no Premiere Elements 6.)
Trust me on this: Capture with a Mac version of Premiere Elements 11 or 12 and your video will be perfectly compatible with any Mac program.

HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update. It crashes every time I try to do an update. I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update. It crashes every time I try to do an update. I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple. Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash. This mac book is less than a month old.

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

If you cannot find Mail then open mail up and follow the process as above.

AE Project will not open after program crashed

AE project will not open after program crashed. I tried opening the project inside another project so I could at least get to the sequences but it would not load. Nothing seems to open the project. I can create new projects. I am on PC

Well, bad news for you: It's a goner. Simply write it off and re-create it and next time learn how to work safely.

My FCP 5 will not capture video any more. How do I get it back

I have a 2005 G5 operating on version 10.5.7. I have *FCP 5*. I do a lot of video editing and have been using this system since 2005. I have *4 gig Ram*. Suddenly it won't capture and when I try to go into that mode I get a message: *UNABLE TO INITIALIZE VIDEO DECK*. My cameras are a new *Canon XH-A1S and a older Canon XH-A1*, they both won't initialize. So I uninstalled all FCP software and reloaded only to get the same message. I now have 20 hours of tape waiting to be edited.
*+_PLEASE HELP_+*

Did it. No luck, However while repairing my permissions four of them came up: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
There's one for "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiscManagement etc and "sbin/umount" and "usr/bin/quota" On all of the other permissions it says they "differ". Anyway it didn't help and I did it to my two internal hard drives.
iMovie will upload and control my camera but I'm capturing much of it in electric green and pink. Boy am I confused. It's not like I'm a novice, I've been doing this for years. This is driving me nuts. I'm worried if I were to purchase a new FCP it still wouldn't capture (not that I could afford it)

After 10.5 upgrade Mac will not boot from hard drive

I just upgraded to 10.5 Leopard but my mac will not boot from the hard drive even after selecting my hard drive as the startup disk. The mac will start to boot but will cut itself off before the boot is complete. I have to leave the Leopard disk in the mac and hold down C to get the mac to turn on but it only allows me to install the software again.

instead of archive and install you might first want to try restoring your system using TM to some time point before your failed 10.5.1 upgrade. Then try upgrading to 10.5.1 again. I would suggest downloading the full 110 MB upgrade and installing it manually rather than doing it through the software upgrade menu.
You can download the upgrade here:
